The Sisters of St. Basil wish you a Christmas filled the wonder of the birth of Christ, the serenity of the peace He came to give us and the joy of his everlasting love!

On Dec. 14, WTAE-TV’s Mike Clark stopped by the House of Prayer at Mount St. Macrina for the Christmas luncheon of the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. Sr. Barbara Jean gave Mike and the group a tour of the Shrine.
